An option is one of the major derivative tools for hedging as well as risk management. There are two prevalent models which are accepted by most of the companies across the globes which are Black & Scholes options pricing model and binomial options pricing model. Hence, the main motive of conducting research in this topic is to do a comparative analysis of the two models by applying them in the five companies of different domain, so that the traders and the companies are clear with which model to apply in a difficult situation.
